Found coolant leak, need opinions
Hey Gentlemen,
During a routine oil change this weekend I noticed some specks of coolant floating around my engine bay. A little bit of looking around and I found this: The leaking hose comes down off the fat tube running between the oil filter housing and the radiator, then runs under the airbox and along the drivers side of the engine bay, and appears to be attached to the rear wall. I found this diagram on realoem.com that shows the tube I need but doesn't list the description: I dug further and found this diagram that appears to show the same hose and has it listed as "HOSE F ENGINE INLET AND HEATER RADIATOR" PN: 64219178427, however, the diagram really isn't very clear. This is where you come in; can anyone here that has a bit more experience with these cooling systems confirm that I'm looking at the correct part? I don't want to tear it apart only to find that the replacement I bought isn't the right thing. Bonus points to anyone that has already dealt with this sort of leak and can give me some guidance on the best way to do the repair. Car is an '06 330i. Thanks ahead of time for the help. |

Here's a little clarification for anyone that is confused:
I've circled the location of the leak. What I need to do is confirm that the circled hose in this diagram is the same hose listed as #1 on the last diagram of my 1st post. |

Discovered the leak yesterday morning, parts store was closed. I'm at work today and haven't had a chance to swing by. I'm also worried that they're going to want to charge me the $160 diagnostic fee just to provide the information.

I posted a DIY for replacing all the N52 coolant hoses. The DIY has P/N, diagrams and specific detailed instructions on replacing each hose.
